The history

The history of the building, that you can see begins in XIII century. - from location of Cracow and setting up the borders of a Market Place (Rynek). Its names "Gehanowska" and "Pod słońcem" are in relation to a goldsmith family by the name of Gehan owning this house in XV i XVI century. The successive owners were: B. Boethmer, K. Helbing, Korycinski family until 1641, W. Briganti. In XVIII century this appartament-house belonged to K. Woliński, the founder of Jews converting chantry. In 1774 the house "Pod Słońcem" was put up for auction and bought by the famous doctor Jan Szaster. After his death his family sold the dispensary in 1812 to J. Sawiczewski. At the begining of a XX century Remigiusz Wiskida acquired this appartament-house from Sawiczewski's descendants. Thanks to him the building owes reconstruction and the current shape (according to F. Maczynski's scheme). The main cross-section of the buliding are it's cellars. For we can find here the oryginal, XIIIth century threshold, actually under the Rynek's plate as well as aisles with gothic portals until renaissance times (cloakroom portal) The uncovered element until today is the second level of the basement.
